Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 4.6.2 New Features
This release includes the following new features:
Shared Mail administration tools
The shared mail administration tools include two new features. First, you can now see the total number and total size of messages shared in the shared mail file for each user. In addition, you can now run the Object Collect task without actually deleting documents from the shared mail file. See the What's New section of the Release Notes for more information.
Domino CAL (Client Access License) accounting tool
Effective July 1, 1998, Lotus implemented the Domino Client Access Licensing (CAL) model that will make it easier for you to acquire and use our products in a more open environment. As part of this new model, Lotus charges fees based on the number and type of clients that access Domino servers. To assist you in tracking your Domino usage, the Server\Licenses view in the Public Address Book has been modified in Release 4.6.2 to report the number and type of clients that access all servers within a single domain. See the What's New section of the Release Notes for more information. For additional information about the new licensing programs, please refer to the Lotus Web site. Once there, click Products, then Domino CAL.
Enhancements to Web Mail templates
The Web Mail templates, MAILW46.NTF and MAILC46.NTF, have been enhanced to provide richer graphics and a more Web-like visual experience. In addition, users accessing their mail file via a browser now have the ability to Reply with History or Forward a message they are viewing. Many user interface enhancements have been made to make navigation and usage simpler. New graphic buttons have been added, incorporating a standard "look and feel". All Views have been redesigned with fonts and colors to make better use of screen real estate. The Address Finder screen has also been modified to make recipient name selection easier and more intuitive. Domino Name and Address Book searching has also been made easier to use.
Web Navigator and template enhancement
The Web Navigator and Web Navigator Template now support the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0.
New Import Filters
Import filters have been added to allow the import of additional WordPerfect files and Lotus Word Pro 96 and 97 files. See the Things You Need to Know section of the Release Notes for details.
New Viewer for Lotus Word Pro 97

Updated INSO viewers for IBM AIX and Sun Solaris Sparc
Release 4.6.2 uses the latest viewer technology (version 5.1.1 MR2) from INSO Corporation for IBM AIX and Sun Solaris (Sparc). The new version of the viewers contains many improvements, provides some critical bug fixes, and adds support for HTML, Office 97, Lotus SmartSuite 97, PCX, and CCITT Group 3 Fax.
